Re install Windows? Geezez...
I will check into the rest though, thanks!

Option 1.
Set the DNS server in her computer's IPV4 settings to something else than the modem's IP.
Use the ISP's DNS server IP, or Cloudflare's free DNS (1.1.1.1), or Google's free DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Option 2.
Manually add the bad domains to your OS to resolve as a local IP (127.0.0.1).
You can do it in the hosts file. If it's Windows, this one explains how to do it: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/hosts-file-in-windows
Option 3.
Block those domains in the computer's firewall.
Option 4.
Disabling modem log could be a solution too as suggested above. |
Thanks for the tips. Option 1 makes the most sense to me at the moment. Her computer though has tons of security policies and i'm wondering if switching to 1.1.1.1 may violate any of those. I'm sure its better for her, but need to make sure first. I'll check and let you know how it works out. thanks!!!!
